Generally, the people that say junior engineers ask many questions are not the people that have to answer the many questions.

The people that can answer the many questions are very busy senior engineers. They have their own questions and things to do in their projects.

Some of these senior level engineers put out articles, books and video presentations on technical topics, that can answer most junior engineer questions.

Junior engineers have the entire internet and wealth of content to read and analyze.

Engineering is about solving problems. Junior engineers have to ramp up quick and be able to solve problems, with or without help from others.

Additionally, how does the junior engineers know the answer to their questions are correct? They still have to do their own research to verify the answers.

I buy utility furniture at the thrift store. When I'm done with it, it goes back to the thrift store :-)
This seems a little misleading. 66,000 acres would be 270 sq km, 33% of the country is 22,000 sq km so IKEA owns just over 1% of the forested land.

IKEA is the largest private forester but most of Lithuania's forests are owned by the state [0] and overseen by various state bodies, some of whom operate them as commercial concerns including, almost certainly, selling timber to IKEA.

> This is great. It fills the same role as Twitter, but people's posts disappear after a few seconds, making it better than Twitter.

Also like Jodel it is anonymous[1], which is a good thing whenever possible as has become obvious lately.

[1]: wrt other users. Random nutjobs of all shapes cannot easily find you and nobody can verify if Jodel have really banned someone so they can to a larger degree do what they think is correct instead of what the mob demands. Threaten someone however and police will have your adress shortly, - Jodel is not an alternative to Signal or Matrix.
There's a world of difference between Ikea particleboard crap and heirloom furniture - you can make quite useful and durable furniture from pine board; Ikea actually does (though they could stand to spend some time on the design, the IVAR system is BY FAR the worst storage related problem I've ever dealt with; tossed that into the fire and got Uline wire shelves instead).

Moving the lifecycle of a piece of furniture from 3-5 years closer to 20 is highly worth it; even if I no longer need it I prefer to leave it on the curb for someone else than have to shove it into the trash can. And these metal shelves will last longer than I will - and can move to the garage if I no longer need them.

But you're now presupposing the AI finds humanity curious. Which is not a given for a random mind that came from outer space and visited our solar system.

As for superhuman AIs developed here, on Earth, by us, it's very improbable that we could go from no AI to AI that can manage mass and energy at will (and is curious about us). The reasonable scenario is gradual (if exponentially accelerating) development of such AI. Which means it won't initially have unlimited access to the universe - it'll have to grow using resources on hand. Which is us, and our infrastructure.

In other words, all atoms may be alike, but those that make you are the easiest to get.
I try to buy my hdds in bigger stores that get their wares on pallets from trucks. They get less mistreatment that way than in a small box from a webstore.
A friend of mine who moved across country a few times tells me it is cheaper to throw furniture away and rebuy it than ship it.

(Throwing it away also includes giving it to the thrift store.)
Funny story, PI noticed an error in one of my papers and I (happily) issued a very minor retraction. Also in one of the threads I talked about how he did retract several year's worth of work done on a different project by the intern when she joined later. So he was alright. Plus, as a junior (2nd year grad student) you really don't want to tattle on the NIH grad student of the year. Who do you think wrote the recommendation?
Honestly the (nearly) unchanging availability is the main selling point - you can buy something today and buy something in a few years that will match (though what you bought today may have broken if you had to move).
Every now and then I go through some of wikipedias sources on certain social topics because I don't trust them at all. The amount of BS I've found in papers, even though I don't eve have any research background at all is impressive.

My favourite was probably this one paper where the author essentially made a reddit-post asking a community about themselves, then cherry-picked (the post is still up, with timestamps and all) a few comments and came to a conclusion that didn't really fit those hand-picked comments.

In conclusion: Wikipedia is a dumpster fire and shouldn't be used for anything other than hard facts like dates and for entertainment.
> Also it performs at 10W, not at 15W and does so without a fan (in the case of the MacBook Air

The comparison is with a Mac Mini that uses a fan.

15W is not far from 10W, considering Ryzen are still 7nm

IMO even 35W is not much at all, for 18 hours on battery and that kind of performances (especially the multi core).

The difference is negligible for users, assuming 8 hours a day for 365 days straight the 15W APU would consume 15KW more, in Italy it would cost about one euro more.
Kirill is a character in Vadim Panov's Enclaves.

To the greater conversation, my relationship with sci-fi is on-and-off but I really enjoyed A Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge. This one got me back into it. I recently finished the Alastair Reynolds Revelation Space trilogy which was amazing except for the third novel which was a little tiresome and ultimately unsatisfying.
I made a typo. You are very much correct.
I thought the original article was very poor. There's no real data, no references (except Fred Brooks), and the graphs are just nice shaded opinions based on nothing much.

It fails to ask why the complexity of tools and systems grows over time, and whether this is matched by improvements in UX.

It also fails to note that one of the goals of abstraction is to hide inherent complexity. And in fact this happens time and time again in engineering and product design - an insight that starts off requiring near-genius levels of original mathematical creativity is packaged into commodified tools that make it easy to do a certain job.

Sometimes the tools are aimed at engineers, and sometimes they're built for the public. But because no one expects to literally reinvent the wheel, they all package genius in their different ways.

Except software. In software teams keep working to reinvent wheels completely every few years. Some are arguably more refined than existing wheels. But they're all wheels.

They're not a new kind of thing - like an engine. Or wings.

So I agree. Software has mediocre lumpy wheels They're mostly back-references to existing software, and not so much attempts to commodify and simplify standard problems - like security, reliability, scalability, and UX.

There are packages for all of the above, but they're rarely clean and elegant - in the sense that someone has really understood the problem and designed a maximally effective but minimally complex automated solution.

Worse, there are no processes for efficiently abstracting a domain. And that's what's missing.
I imagine apps are better at being apps than a web browser, and due to their complexity webapps are also tightly coupled to a specific brand and version of browser, so you have less compatibility problems by bundling your preferred vm with your application.
Movement of infected meat? Where did you get that from? I have been reading about COVID every day for the last year and never saw anyone make that claim before, so this looks like motivated reasoning. Are you thinking of wet markets? The whole "people eating bats/civets" theory fell out of favour ages ago, and of course none of those animals crossed borders anyway.

As for spread of people, truckers have been allowed to cross borders even when they've been closed the whole time, as otherwise supply chains would collapse. So it's irrelevant to this case. The guy wasn't doing a COVID check.

I also think you really don't understand the job of a border controller.

I think I do! Political trolling and lunch confiscation are definitely not components of it.
How would you get Apple Music playback on such a device? I've looked and I can't find anything for my phone, much less a non-mainstream client.
Unaditable apps like that should not be allowed in core system. Get tablet to run this stuff (way better ergonomics) or run it in virtual machine.
Just to add to this, they have those names due to their autonomous nature, much like the culture ships. I imagine Musk has the idea of a fleet of autonomous ships moving as required to collect rockets unable to make landfall.

Panic is rarely useful. It might lead you to move at high and low velocity.
"Relatively less diverse culture compared to US/UK so easier to mass disseminate rule of law"?

Thank you. Sites that waste my time with pay/signup walls should also give me a portion of their revenues.
It's interesting how we've used all the various 'doing' words in English for different technical concepts, although with some overlap. Function, method, procedure, action, operation, routine, task, process.

"If not abused on purpose" is the problem - things DO get abused and once engineered wood products start to degrade there's no stopping it.

And if water gets in and doesn't get removed immediately you're in for a world of excitement.

Given that kitchens are remodeled every 7-10 years "on average" paying for solid wood/plywood might not be worth it. But there's a reason commercial kitchens are stainless steel.
Does mankind have intrinsic value? And my direct answer to your direct question yes, insects have more intrinsic "value" for the ecosystem of this planet compared to humans, one of the first proofs is the fact that they've been in here for longer than we (or even the mammals) have.
Pretty sure its unskilled low paid labor humans clicking yes or no for fb ads. You would not believe what things i managed to get trough. My account was only later deleted because i was advertising self made cotton masks. Which for some reason raised red flag suddenly
Yep. AFAIK CircuitPython focuses more on low memory microcontrollers and less on connectivity.
Does it really seem to you that Twitter incentivizes conscientiousness?
Huh? That move is exactly pure bookkeeping CO2.
You could make a time based argument like that for any contract dispute. "Payout delayed is payout denied" isn't true, but if it were then it'd mean all contracts were useless. So you aren't showing that there's something specific to insurance here that's special, and there are plenty of mechanisms to help people who aren't rich get justice (e.g. no win no fee arrangements).

If an insurance company is regularly stiffing people then it won't last long regardless of whether an insurance commission exists or not.
that depends very much on the lighting in which a picture of Apple Beige is taken, the colour space of the photograph, the colour temperature of the monitor, the display gamma…
Which points straight to the problem: the tools for expectation management, requirements gathering and design validation are severely lacking.

Applications should be built on fast iterations with the user present, until each detail is perfect and the full workflow is validated to be as useful as expected. Only then should engineering issues be addressed, to make the tool robust and fast.

A thing I've noticed is that even if built from real wood most chairs are NOT designed to hold the average American - who has grown in leaps and bounds since the 1800s - and once they start to loosen at the joints there's no real saving them.

A lot of people being the media in the US that pushes the narrative to the extreme. You could make the argument ( perhaps weakly for Parler now) that they are right leaning social platforms that contain extremes. The same way Twitter is left leaning and contains left and right extremes.

Companies in the states appear to wear their political allegiances as a badge of honour eliciting an us-or-them reaction. Left and Right ideologies often have wants which flip from side to side, generation to generation.

It's worrying and baffling that someone's source of income can be severed when there has been no evidence of misconduct.

I can't speak to Parler as I never checked it (and can't now), but I just checked the Gab homepage and I encountered anti-vaxx, anti-Catholicism, QAnon, and election fraud nonsense. This is just the frontpage: no cherry-picking. There is nothing outright illegal on the homepage, but it's also not a good look to be honest.

Aside: Gab is horrible technically speaking; Firefox uses my full CPU :-/

Trackpoint modules are harvestable from Thinkpad keyboards, and are well-supported in QMK (the most prolific keyboard firmware). I've used them a lot on custom splits, and they work quite well.

That can be handled by explicitly deleting it in the backup data or manually shifting out some old generation of backups.

What you want to avoid is the single most common error: you accidentally delete or corrupt something, then several years later you notice.

This might sound unlikely but it is I assume more likely than theft, fire, and other reasons we keep our backups off site.

Whether "retain all copies of everything, forever" is actually viable can vary with budget and the size of ones library of course. But storage is pretty cheap these days.
It doesn’t read as sarcasm to me. The bulk of the ideas seem “in the right direction”, just with a bunch of gaps and uncertainty. The gaps and uncertainty are where research and conversation live. I read the comment in that spirit.
It's literally glued together "scrap" wood - which can work fine - but it is also susceptible to "drying" damage - I have a Hermes shelf that is more like a U than a _ now.

Ask HN: How would the pandemic have been treated if it happened 50 years ago?
It is perhaps the perspective of more elderly people, but what i hear often since the start of the pandemic is: "50 years ago, this would only be mentioned in the newspapers as an uncommon severe flu season... for this mortality rate in old people there would not have been any lockdown"

So... what do you think how this all would have played out if it happened 50 years ago?

> IMB's increasingly grody enthusiasm to describe Bad Stuff happening to people, preferably women, so we can be really righteously mad when There is Big Revenge

I don't recognise this from the Culture novels. Plenty of Bad Stuff happens to people (and all manner of beings, drones, Minds, etc.), but that generally does happen in fiction. I can only think of one Culture novel that kind of has a "revenge plot" (Surface Detail, and it's probably not the main theme of the novel).

> it's like he couldn't quite come up with much to write about that was within the Culture per se

I think it's possible that Banks thought writing purely about a utopia would be boring. Personally I would have read anything Banks wrote in the setting, even if it was just a story about everyday life.

If you haven't read it, his text (short story? Fictional article?) "A Few Notes On The Culture" is quite interesting and devoid of Bad Things Happening:

Holy hell, OP.

What prevents me from just calling "postMessage" directly myself, which does nothing to prevent the "sanitation" that the replace function call there is supposed to do?

A lot of their furniture is made of materials like chipboard, which is made with waste byproducts and low quality leftovers.

This certainly can be more efficient and environment-friendly than using prime slow-growth oak (for example).
Scientists are people. Taking the path of least resistance and skipping over details is the nature of some people, and thus of some scientists as well.

It's not unbeknownst in other professions. Anecdotally, I haven't had my car serviced in a shop for years because mechanics even with supposedly good reputation would fail to do even trivial maintenance jobs properly, invariably requiring myself to partially redo it myself to ensure the quality of the installation which defeats the point of having a job done by a paid professional in the first place. It's the boring details and following the process carefully that these people skip, in hope for getting results quicker and moving on sooner. I just take it that some people are like that, and the lower barrier of entry to sciences than before means there are more corner-cutters in academia as well.

The question is where in the process of the academic journey from student, master, grad-student to doctor are people qualified for the work as for their psychology and personality, not only knowledge and intelligence?

The danger signs with this sort of personality are undoubtedly visible in early stages. The market pressure to maintain one's reputation doesn't seem to work in the academia as illustrated by the article. Thus, it would be better to start explicitly culling this attitude off the field before these people get to establish themselves despite their bad workmanship.

The benefit is 5G Internet for 1000s of people in the area.

The fact no one mentions that in the article, is why I didn't think much of the article.

Similarly, I'd be happy to see the boxes moved to less obvious places (further onto the property, next to a fence?). But that isn't discussed either.

The whole article seems to hinge on "what about my house price". That's pure NIMBY as far as I can see.

Presumably the couple on question use mobile phones, plus electricity and water and other utilities all of which require boxes outside other peoples home...

The visions of a Redhat fanboy I think. I’ve started using Alpine linux for just about everything the last couple years. Instead of layers upon layers of redirection and obfuscation, gnu politics, and systemd doing it’s own thing, Alpine just boots and gets out of your way. It’s proven itself to me on both bare metal and in containers. It would not be an amazing desktop when compared to a Mac, but very few things are.
It would be very interesting to hear more about your project and, if you did some benchmarks, about the increased draw on the battery.
golang forces man to document every exported function, variable and alike. its good way to make sure everyone documents
I think one of the reasons the retro car thing is so huge in the USA is that the cars STILL EXIST on the road - there are (poor) people using ancient cars as daily drivers, so when the desire comes to find a retro vehicle, they're out there and available and cheap.

Not so much with old computers - NOBODY, not even the poor in the USA, are trying to make do with a 8086 as a daily computer. Phones and better computers are simply too cheap and available.
Common carrier laws are woefully inadequate for this. Social media doesn't function by me going to your webpage and seeing what you've written. Twitter, TikTok, Facebook, Youtube, every single one are primarily driven by algorithmic discovery. You go to youtube, youtube says "Hey! Here's our curated list of what we think our usres want to see". Making youtube a common carrier would be fine- they would be forced to host porn videos, spam and gore. The result of common carrier legislation on facebook is you'd have Alex Jones on facebook and not a single link, not a single trending page, would ever link to him ever. It would be functionallly undiscoverable. Which is basically where Alex Jones is today.
This still don’t make sense. For example, I want to paint my house with a less toxic paint. I can’t trust any academic research. I have to now research what is toxic in paint? Then I have to find ways to measure various chemicals and gases? Etc...

This seems like a complete utter waste of time.

In real life most life impacting academic research is much more right than wrong. You are far better served assuming so. Unless you want to waste your time going back to basic science and rebuilding all the academic knowledge in most things you wish to do.
Hence why the real solution has always been:

1. Electrify everything possible
2. Shift all electricity production to renewables, massively increase power output with nuclear nuclear nuclear.
3. Carbon capture.
